Brian I am having WLAN problems similar to yours in 3.14: freezes, having to manually bring up the link, etc. Wired links work fine. Did you make any progress? A couple of things I found along the way that might help you or others.
- "iwconfig" in 3.14 says my dongle has no wireless extensions. But "iw" works properly. I believe that iwconfig is being depracated in favor of iw. - newer kernels are apparently defaulting to inhibiting RF output. I figured this out when I tried to do an "ifconfig wlan0 up" in Jessie and it complained it couldn't because of "rfkill". Doing this in wheezy just failed silently... *nice*. Doing "apt-get install rfkill" followed by "rfkill unblock all" got that working. Next I have to tell systemd to remember that across reboots. I have a TP-Link dongle that causes the kernel to Ooops, and a ZD1211-based one that doesn't see the outside world even after it gets an IP address via me manually running "dhclient wlan0" on it. I feel your pain. On Friday, 26 September 2014 14:44:07 UTC-6, Brian Anderson wrote: > > > I now need to manually enable the link (ifup ra0) to get the interface to > come up.
